"These are fairly new designs within the last year," says Higgins, adding coloured diamonds like pinks and yellows in micropave' settings are a popular variation. "It's very design specific so it's not for everybody," he cautions. ' Channel settings are always a popular choice.

Making it simple When ring shopping it's usual for the couple to go in for a prelimi- nary look together. Higgins says a price range and idea of style should be in mind from the beginning, and couples should really consider a style that won't grow old with time. "That happens all the time," says Higgins, adding if the ring it too trendy it quickly falls out of fash- ion. He points to the wraparound styles and clusters that were big in 80s and have lost their appeal today. As for price, the old adage of two months salary is no longer the standard, it's whatever the individ- ual is comfortable spending. When the purchaser comes back for a ring, Higgins says they should have in mind the lifestyle of the bride and how she will be wearing it as a key factor in the decision. "It's very necessary for the process to be a wise and educated one." Wedding Joke: The Nervous Bride The Minister noticed the bride was in dis- tress so asked what was wrong. She replied that she was awfully nervous and afraid she would not remember what to do. The Minister told her that she only needed to remember three things. First the aisle, cos that is what you'll be walking down. Secondly, the alter because that is where you will arrive. Finally, remember hymn because that is a type of song we will sing during the service. While the bride was walking in step with the wedding march, family and friends of the groom were horri- fied to hear her repeat- ing these three words: ...Aisle, alter hymn (I'11 alter hiin).
